How are the trigger pads on the Novation SL's?

I just got an SL 61 last week. The pads are very small, even smaller than most cheap drum machines. They also have practically no give to them which I think is very weird. Also since they are laid out in a long row its hard to play very complex beats on them because you have to travel too far and hit a small area.

 

I also have a Trigger Finger, which has perfect pads IMO, so I don't expect to ever use the pads on the SL.

Hiya!

 

The drum pads can be assigned to send out the same kind of info that any of the other controls can, including sysex, etc.

 

like someone mentioned, the are very stiff. as in they dont seem to move at all. you can calibrate the touch sensitivity though, but i think it would take some getting used to if you were coming from, an MPC or the XL7 or something.

 

i never thought the spacing of the pads were bad, they are just 'small'. If you dont have any kind of padd controller, then I think you would be happy with this. If you did have one like the trigger finger, iwouldnt buy this for the pads only.

 

The sl's are a very good 'all in one' controller solutions. With that, it does somethings better than others, thats all. :)
